Agreed. They see through it all now and are demanding a return to normalcy. The protests in London were massive.
What is troubling is the continued effort by the state to push fear.
Even at the Euro soccer tournament (Wembly Stadium, London) they manipulated the seating. They made sure that the side of the stadium that cameras would show was almost empty, while the other side of the stadium was packed, every seat filled with nobody wearing masks. People made videos showing the insanity.
It certainly gives the impression for those at home that they’re still in pandemic mode. This kind of manipulation is truly disturbing. It really makes one wonder about just how much of a delta there can be between perception and reality. The British are very good at it. It’s been interesting seeing the different policies around the world and what the messaging is. Apparently Canada is still acting as though little has changed, Australia is even worse.
